Back in Los Angeles, Murphy gave herself a two-day vacation and hid in a house in the Latin community. She took a long time to make up for her sleep. It was probably a peculiar experience that left the headache sequelae. The busy time during this period of time. Later, the number of headache attacks became more frequent. Although it was not like the tearing pain when he first came to this world, it could also affect his thinking and normal work and life.

After two days of rest, feeling the body and energy recovered, Murphy did not rush to start post-production, but contacted Bill Rossis. The two sides talked a few times and prepared to sign a formal brokerage contract.

There is a professional agent from CAA, and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, and there is nothing to lose for a person like him without any qualifications.

Unlike the cross-management of star actors or successful directors, CAA will not invest much resources in new directors like Murphy. As long as they sign a contract with CAA, Bill Rossis will become his exclusive agent.

The contract between the two parties was also very simple. After the intention was reached, Murphy brought his lawyer Robert to Century City. In the building leased by CAA, Bill Rossis and a business lawyer from CAA have been waiting in a small room. In the meeting room.

CAA signs some new people every year, many of whom can succeed in the top position, but before these people succeed, they are not paid attention to. Murphy is no exception. This kind of signing is more like a routine.

"You are welcome to join CAA."

After signing the contract, Bill Rossis solemnly shook hands with Murphy, "Here, your future is unlimited."

This is just a circumstance. What CAA signs with a person like him is only similar to the kind of internship contract signed by a large company with an intern, a very junior brokerage contract. This kind of contract is also conducive to CAA when it sees that the signatory is worthless Give up at any time.

Correspondingly, the contract's restrictions on contracted customers are not particularly strict. If the two parties do not want to cooperate, the liquidated damages are not paid much.

This kind of contract will only be used for newcomers like Murphy, as long as they can make a name for themselves, CAA will immediately open a new contract.

Compared with these scenes, Murphy pays more attention to practical things. After the two lawyers leave, he said directly, "Bill, I need a post-production room with complete equipment and relatively cheap rent."

"No problem." Bill Rossis didn't refuse, but said simply, "You wait for my good news."

Originally, Murphy wanted to rent the post-production studio of Channel 6, but after contacting Carla Faith, he gave up this plan. The post-production studio of Channel 6 can only be rented in time intervals, which does not meet his needs.

This is Los Angeles, the center of the world's film industry. It is not difficult to rent a post-production studio. However, after the preliminary preparation and shooting, the crew’s salary has just been settled. Murphy’s 300,000 US dollars of funds are left. Up to 50,000 US dollars, there will be expenses such as editor salary and soundtrack copyright fees, and the rent that can be used to pay is very limited.

The studio you want to rent is well-equipped and the rent is cheap... This is difficult.

Before Murphy left, Bill Rossis took out his mobile phone and made several consecutive calls, showing the ability and network of a professional entertainment agent. After putting down his mobile phone, he smiled and said, "At most five days, I can Find the right post-production room."

"OK!" Murphy is not an idiot, I can see that Bill-Rossis is showing his strength, "I am waiting for your good news."

He stood up to leave, and Bill Rossis said again, "Wait."

Murphy looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"How long will your film be completed?" Bill Rossis said without waiting for Murphy to answer, "If all the productions can be completed before the new year, I can help you get the chance to participate in the Saint Denis Film Festival. "

Hearing this, Murphy immediately became interested. The Saint Denis Film Festival is a paradise for independent films. Although the barriers to entry are low, there are certain requirements for entering the formal exhibition.

According to his understanding, if you want to participate in the Saint-Denis Film Festival instead of showing on the roadside during the film festival, you need to apply in advance. After the application is approved, the organizing committee will send an invitation letter. You can only participate if you receive the invitation letter.

Of course, if it is some excellent film or filmmaker, the producer of the Sundance Film Festival will directly send an invitation letter.

Murphy thinks he can't reach this level.

"I tried my best." He left this sentence before leaving.

Just like shooting, he is also a novice to post-production, who knows what kind of problems he will encounter.

Leaving the meeting room, Murphy turned into the elevator room and waited for a while. The elevator came down from above, thinking about some problems of post-production, he entered the elevator without raising his head.

Entering the elevator, Murphy immediately felt that something was wrong. He felt that there was something particularly tall on the left that almost completely covered herself. He quickly turned around to see that a black man about six feet six inches tall stood there like an iron tower, just right. Also turned his head and looked over.

"It's you!" The black man's tone was rather bad.

"Hello..." Murphy greeted calmly, "Long time no see, Mr. Bryant."

The man on the left is the star Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kobe Bryant didn't expect that he would come to CAA to do business. He would meet this shameless guy, and his fist immediately clenched subconsciously.

Murphy's body was tight, and he was ready to start the fight.

But Kobe Bryant was more sensible than he thought, and he gave a cold snort, but didn't do anything.

There are indeed not many rashers who can become top superstars. Murphy looked up at his dark face, Kobe Bryant was staring at him condescendingly.

The elevator door opened with a jingle, and Murphy got out of the elevator ahead of Kobe Bryant. It was about working hours, and there happened to be no one in the elevator room on the first floor.

Kobe Bryant in the back also got out of the elevator, but Murphy turned around and proactively extended a hand, "Let’s get to know him officially, Mr. Bryant, I’m Murphy Stanton, a film director."

"What?" Kobe Bryant and Ben didn't mean to shake hands with him, but were surprised, "Aren't you a paparazzi?"

Murphy shrugged, "I'm a director, and I'm in the same agency as you."

Without waiting for Kobe Bryant to react, Murphy took out a business card and stuffed it into his big hand. "If you are interested in acting in a movie, you can call me."

After speaking, Murphy nodded to him, turned and walked out of the elevator.

Kobe Bryant at the back was a little dazed. He first looked at Murphy's back and then at the business card in his hand. This was definitely the most shameless and cheeky person he had ever encountered.

He threw the business card into the trash can, and Kobe Bryant also left.

In less than five days, Bill Roses settled the lease of the post-production studio for Murphy. Murphy went to see it in person. The leased studio is located in Burbank, which is a small studio owned by Disney. The film company has all the equipment in it, and he spent another 30,000 US dollars for this, and got the right to use it for the next two months.

This price is not expensive, and Bill Rossis has played a lot in it.

After the two parties signed the formal lease contract, Murphy, Griffith and Paul Wilson, who were willing to act as assistants, moved directly into the studio with a lot of film.
